The Boston Red Sox defeat the Seattle Mariners 5-1 on Saturday night, with Wilyer Abreu providing key offense and Connelly Early keeping Seattle largely off the scoreboard. Abreu hits a two-run home run in the game, helping Boston build and maintain a lead. Early is the starting pitcher and works six innings. He gives up a run in the first inning, allowing two hits, but he does not allow another hit for the remainder of his six-inning start. During the outing, Early also hits three Mariners with pitches. Boston’s bullpen maintains the advantage after Early’s departure. Tyron Guerrero pitches a scoreless seventh inning and records two strikeouts. Garrett Whitlock then works a 1-2-3 eighth inning, and Danny Coulombe completes the game with a scoreless, clean ninth.
